Donating for the servers

Discussion in 'Suggestions / Ideas' started by BrawlerAce, Dec 30, 2013.

How is this idea?

  1. Yes, I believe there should be an option to donate extra money to help the servers.

  2. No, I believe that donors should be able to receive a benefit over non donors to encourage donating.

    Ok, let's start this off. We can already donate for the server to get some nice stuff, as you know. In MC-War, you get guns and equipment, WarZ and Party get VIP and MVP, and TEAM-HG has purchasable kits. I was thinking about this, and I decided to make this post once someone began talking about it.
    There should be an option to donate for the server and get nothing in return. Yes, you may be thinking, "Completely useless Brawler!" But it would be useful both for the more generous people who are generous enough to give and receive nothing in return. It would also be useful for those people who have bought absolutely everything (in the case of War) but still want to help support MC-Brawl servers and keep them from going down, but can't because they can't buy anything. (they already have everything) As well as that, it might be useful for those people who don't want to support the server with only $10 per month, but instead are generous and want to make a large donation for MC-Brawl.

    I wouldn't mind putting in donations like that.
    Maybe put the highest contributor of the month on the front page or something?

    I actually know of a successful server which does this.
    I feel like this would help pay for MinecraftParty bills.

    ollie, are you watching all the forums? :V
    (if then, how many notifications do you get per day V: )
    >ontopic
    I should probably add that Minecraft Party has a lot of fees that need to be paid, so yeah... I honestly thought that people would say no because they would get nothing in return.

    I felt like someone was going to make a post about this. Simon Cowell approves

    Not sure if ollie does this, but I have it set so I get a notification every time someone makes a thread on the forums.
    On topic, I think this is a great idea. Quite honestly I doubt anyone will ever use it, but it is simple enough to put in and you never know, someone may actually be generous enough to donate.

    Can you at least get a colourful name that says how much you donated for the server? The ranks don't give you anything but it looks pretty C:

    $20-30 $31-40 $41-50 $51-60 $61-70 71-80 $81-90 $91-100 $120+ (Change it to what you want at anytime)

    If this can't happen oh well. The idea can't kill anyone so why not?

    Nope, donating is supporting something by giving it money and getting nothing in return.

    Maybe an option to change the color of your name depending on the donation, to show how generous you are. I don't know. Would be kinda hard with War and WarZ though :/

    I would love to donate extra money to the server!
    Though I'm not sure if other players would want to donate if they don't get ingame items.

    Excellent idea. This would encourage people to donator to the server out of the kindness of their heart (and maybe get a little recognition in return :V).

    I like the idea in general. Of course, only people who have bought everything on the server would use this, but it would still be pretty nice to have. Keep the ideas coming Brawler :V

    I like the idea because the server costs thousands of dollars to run, but can't you at least have some kind of a rank like Donor? Example:
    DONOR: 1-10 USD
    DONOR+: 10-100 USD
    ULTRA-DONOR: 100-1000 USD
    Note: I will donate if i get a rank. I don't need items, just a rank that represents it.
